Why Rahul Dravid ranks #19 in Cricket
Rahul Dravid ranks 19th among Cricket athletes on GOAT Rank and 206th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 88, Longevity 90, Honours 82, Statistics 94. Those categories are normalised against the full Cricket reference universe of 294 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1996–2012 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, which sets the Peak component at 88. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes test runs 13288, test centuries 36, test average 52.31, odi runs 10889.
Immediately ahead sits Malcolm Marshall on 89.5, a gap of 2.4 points. Directly behind is MS Dhoni on 87.9. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
